  1. only chains? on Patent Granted on Sideways Swinging · · Score: 1

    The patent is about using chains, so if i use ropes instead will i be affected?

  2. Re:Bad tactics by vivendi on Blizzard/Vivendi Files Suit Against Bnetd Project · · Score: 1

    If there is a bug in the copyright holder's product that also occurs in the reverse engineered product, it is pretty much assumed de' facto that unless proven otherwise, you lifted code from the copyright holder's product.

    How can you steal code from battle.net's binary? I didn't think it was available for download.

  3. Re:Ok, I was bored. on Cracking Crypto To Get Into College · · Score: 1

    Could you explain how you got to that formula?

  4. Re:Ok, I was bored. on Cracking Crypto To Get Into College · · Score: 0, Redundant

    The easiest way to calculate the sum from 1 to 1000000 is ofcause (n+1) * n/2.

  5. Re:Bounty won't matter much. on Upping The Softmodem Code Bounty -- To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    >I don't think that this is correct. A winmodem is mearly a sound device/sound card with a telco interface. The telephone companies have to make sure that you won't wreck havoc on their networks. Thats also a driver issue :/

    But a bad driver will only send wrong signals, resluting in the modem not working. I don't see how this will cause any damage to the network?

  6. Re:1 universal driver??? on Upping The Softmodem Code Bounty -- To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    > A unified driver won't work here since almost each DSP chip which is a WinModem is totally different from others - look at the HSF modems DSP chips (conexant) VS. Lucent WinModem DSP chips VS Cirrus Logic VS TI's DSP chip...

    He doesn't want code that uses a DSP, he wants a DSP-less driver.

  7. Re:Bounty won't matter much. on Upping The Softmodem Code Bounty -- To $20,000 · · Score: 1

    >Regardless of the coolness factor of this bounty, the fact still remain: A GPLed softmodem driver still requires certification by the telephone companies before any device is legally connected to the telephone network using the driver.

    Device is the keyword here, and the device (winmodem) has already been certified. The software driving the device doesn't need certification.

  8. Re:... and the it all begins on TechTV Cracks Open The Xbox · · Score: 1

    > 2.5" slimline DVD-ROM

    Isn't that a bit small for a DVD disc? Aren't they atleast > 4"?

  9. Still one simple bug on XMMS 1.0.0 Released · · Score: 5

    I've mailed the xmms team 2-3 times even with patches for this bug.

    The timer thinks 1 hour is 99 minutes, so after the timer passes 99:59 it says 1:00:00, but it should wrap after 59:59.

    Here is the fix
